Funny how a simple foul ball can rile people up.
Jose Bautista is leading off against Brian Bass. It's time for one of these teams to scratch out a run, and the Pirates might do just that after a double by their third baseman.
Pirates third-base coach Tony Beasley grabs a foul off the bat of Ronny Paulino and flips it into the stands. That's class, Tony.
Paulino singles and Bautista stops at third, but Paulino alertly moves to second when the throw from the outfield misses the cut-off man. Ducks on the pond for Mientkiewicz, the former Twin.
Mientkiewicz, a practiced deep-sea fisherman, reels in Bass for a walk. Second baseman Chris Gomez can break things wide open (Miles Durham is running for Mientkiewicz).
Gomez grounds into a double play, but the run scores and the Pirates are up 2-1 as the crowd rises for the seventh-inning stretch.

Well done, Mr. Henry! You have such command of the English language.
Now that it's the seventh-inning stretch, Mientkiewicz can finally stretch those sea legs!
This is so much better than reading that Kaid. All he does is pimp Gatorade products. And everybody knows, Billy is a Powerade man.
